Terms of Service
By creating a Pessage account or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use Pessage.
1. Who can use Pessage
- You must be at least 13 years old.
- You must be authorized to share the project content you upload — if your employer or client owns the data, you represent that you have permission to use Pessage to handle it.
- You may not use Pessage if you're barred from doing so by US sanctions law or any other law that applies to you.
2. Your account
- You're responsible for keeping your password safe and for everything done under your account.
- If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password and email gorkyaitech@gmail.com.
- You can delete your account anytime from Settings → Delete account forever.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Upload illegal, harassing, defamatory, or infringing content.
- Send spam, phishing links, or malware.
- Reverse-engineer the service or attempt to bypass row-level-security restrictions.
- Use automated agents that exceed reasonable per-account rate limits.
- Impersonate a teammate, contractor, or client.
If you see content that violates these rules, use the in-app Report action on the message; admins will review and we may remove content or suspend accounts that repeatedly break the rules.
4. Your content, your IP
You keep all rights to the pessages, replies, DMs, attachments, and tasks you upload. By using Pessage you grant us a limited license to host, transmit, back up, and display your content as needed to run the service for you and your project teammates. We don't claim ownership and we won't sell your content.
5. Project memberships and clearance
When a project admin grants or revokes your membership or clearance, that admin is acting under their own authority over the project. Pessage enforces the access control technically (RLS) but doesn't decide who should be on which project.
6. Third-party services
Pessage relies on Supabase (database, auth, storage), Expo (push delivery), and optionally Sentry (crash reports). Using Pessage means accepting that your content transits those providers under their respective terms.
7. Pricing and beta
While Pessage is in pilot, the service is provided free. We'll notify users at least 30 days before any paid tiers go live and never start billing without explicit consent.
8. Service availability
We aim for high availability but offer no uptime guarantee during pilot. The service is provided "as is" without warranty. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim arising from your use of Pessage is capped at the greater of (a) what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) US$50.
9. Termination
- You can stop using Pessage anytime; deleting your account removes your data within 24 hours.
- We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with notice unless the violation is severe (e.g. illegal content, security breach).
10. Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app or via email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the new terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of San Francisco County, California, unless a consumer protection law gives you the right to a different forum.

Pessage is operated by Gorkyai Tech. This document is provided for transparency and to satisfy App Store / Google Play submission requirements; it does not constitute legal advice. If you operate Pessage in a jurisdiction with consumer-protection rules that differ from California's, those rules may override portions of section 8 or 11.
